I noticed that, as of installer beta2, this bug is still not fixed.
I am not an expert, but yet I would like to draw your attention to the fact 
that from lenny to squeeze Debian switched from using GRUB to using GRUB2. 
GRUB2 now uses a different device numbering scheme than GRUB used. It seems to 
me that the explanation in the installer was written for GRUB and was forgotten 
to be rewritten in order to reflect the different device numbering scheme of 
GRUB2.
